flight Jhb to Springbok

there are no scheduled flight to Springbok, you will have to fly to Cape Town and hire a car, or you have to charter a plane. Springbok is only a small town with a small airport.

re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So

Reply to @Pivot: I believe in that case that David (the owner of this site) has been assigning arbitrary ids to airports that don't have an official designator.

Reply to @ptomblin:

I wrote the senior manager for aerodromes and facilities in South Africa and he says "Olifants is not a licensed aerodrome therefore I cannot confirm their locator". So there is no ICAO ident for this airport. Now what?

Good day, I am struggling to find a contact number for this airfield. I urgently need to know if there is Avgas as well as JetA1 available at this airfield? Please assist me?

re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So

Reply to @ptomblin: From what I've been told Olifants never had an ICAO ident. FAOR was used for a now decommissioned airport. So I don't know what we can now use for Olifants.

New ICAO designator: FAOR

The ICAO designator for this airport is now FAOR - O.R Tambo International Airport (Previously FAJS). Thus: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in South/ern Africa.

re: arrival time of an international flight from Paris

Dear Anonymous flyer;

We are sorry that the information you were seeking was not as accurate as you desired. We will strive harder in the future to ensure your experience here is a delightful one. We are sorry that we could not meet your needs, even though washing your hog is not something we normally offer. Perhaps next time you require such as service, you will use a search website to find the proper service providers and not a website that has nothing to do with swine cleaning. Also, you might want to look at the entire page you were complaining about and notice at the bottom this sentence: "Flight information is provided by FlightStats, and is subject to the FlightStats Terms of Use." That might be a good spot to take your complaint.

Sincerely sarcastic,

Not-the-management.

arrival time of an international flight from Paris

Looking at the arrivals schedule I noticed that the air place I was looking for had been cancelled. No reason. Just cancelled. Phoned airport and it was hog wash. If you guys cant be accurate and get the correct information dont have the web site!

Comments from anonymous flyer

Firstly, the grammar and vocab shows what, not who, these comments are coming from.

Secondly, I have not seen any locks on our borders preventing this person from leaving and going to a country where everything is to its liking. Maybe it has not realized that it has a choice or maybe the logic is a bit too complex. I know this is really a stretch in tems of comprehension but where does this sense of entitlement come from? Maybe too much time spent with the striking mine and transport workers?

re: Map to Swartkop Airport

It's actually an Air Force Base, not a civil airport. Google "Swartkop Air Force Base", "Swartkop AFB" or "AFB Swartkop".

re: This site

Oooi... we're so quick to complain.

As for catching a wakeup... it should be apparent for anyone with half a brain that this is not an official ACSA or OR Tambo site. For a site that is run and maintained by volunteers I think is it nice. Thanks guys... you provide much needed info which ACSA themselves does do so well. This site serves me well.

So if you want to get abusive, go to ...acsa.co.za/home.asp?pid=66 and do it there. Some-one gets paid to maintain that site.
